Exactly! Beamer really had a great start in life (and an unexpected bonus was that he was used to being groomed!).
My first Yorkie wasn't as expensive but we bought her in England back in 1984, also from a reputable breeder and we had 15.1/2 wonderful years with her, with very minimum vet bills - just the annual check ups and shots.
As someone has said on the forum - you buy your breeder first!
